you are being patriotic, lol! Sorry, couldn't resist. Now, go put on your flag pin right now and conform!
McCain does not wear flag
pin as he writes an article in an accountant's magazine claiming that deregulation of financial business was so successful he wishes to deregulate the health care industry. let's see if this gets the subject off the ground.

Veteran Removes The American Flag This is a video clip showing the veteran who went down to a Mexican restaurant in Reno , NV to take down the American flag that was being flown under their Mexican flag. This guy silenced the folks on the sidewalk and makes me proud to be an American. I think it's going to take a lot more of this kind of revolting to change things....watch and be proud.

How patriotic of them -nm

Be Patriotic
So I hope everybody out there is buying bonds and drinking their Pepsi, because it really makes a difference. Oh, and GM is in trouble too, so don't forget to buy a car too. Our rich people are depending on us or they are going to fire our neighbor, and we will end up feeding him anyway.
Not saying he not patriotic. I just thought it was,,,sm
an interesting fact after all of the hullabaloo over the last few weeks. I happen to be one who does not think wearing a pin is a sign of patriotism.
I am patriotic. I look at both sides.
It's certain people that refuse to look at the PRESENT ISSUES, not the PAST. I am all for O doing the right things, but right now, it looks like business as usual with the exception of his cabinet picks and this stimulus package.
Sticking to the issues is one thing. Calling some unpatriotic just because they don't agree with you is another.
saw that on the news today. How patriotic of them,
nm
Yes I have. I repeat, he is a patriotic American first..sm
I also think that McCain is a patriotic American and have no desire to stomp on him and drag him through the mud just because he is not what I want for president.
He said it was patriotic for the rich to pay more taxes -
I can hardly disagree with him. The rich of the United States are not sending their children to war to die, they don't get dirty when the country needs it, what is wrong with asking them to contribute something more?
For me, being patriotic means standing up for your

Why do you have to wear jewelry
to be honoring the flag. Would you please explain that to me. I just don't get it.
I promise you, you will not wear us down.
Many may change their minds if you settle down somewhat and work, until the next vote, to present your argument.
However, you will not wear down or exhaust the will of those who are as passionate about upholding their values as you do yours.
You are so off base. BE PATRIOTIC, s tand behind the NEW PRESIDENT OF THE USA !!!!

I don't wear sneakers, but thanks for the concern. nm
If the shoe fits...wear it!
There are an abundance of right-wing links posted on this forum with lies, smear tactics, shameful racist comments, and outrageous claims regarding Barack Obama. I have yet to see any of these types of links posted by liberals regarding John McCain. This has nothing to do with bias and has everything to do with fact!
Time for all to be patriotic and fair and back the new president nm
nm
Nobody cares who you voted for, you bash Obama now and that is not patriotic

Well, at least you have a new catch phrase. Don't wear it out now, ya hear? nm
"...go to court AGAINST a Christian who wants to wear a cross"

Hey Trigger, you better watch wear you put your mouse .. . .

You're not running for president and refusing to wear it nm

I told hubs yesterday I had hoped she would wear
the 1 across the shoulder only because she had the figure for it and thought it would be smashing on her and I was right. She looked dreamy, he as well and don’t hate, rejoice that they were a good looking couple and by the way, what kind of dance do you want them to do? Ridiculous statement of yours.
Bush lied and our brave patriotic soldiers died..PERIOD
Of course Bush lied about WMD and the threat of Iraq..He needed a reason to invade Iraq..If you would do some research you would find many papers that document meetings between Cheney, Wolfowitz, Perle and others who devised a way to take over the Middle East in the 1990's..all they needed was a way to present it to the American people, as we would not allow our children to die for no reason. With 9/11, they got the reason and tried to tie up 9/11 with Iraq..I, frankly, think they also had a hand in 9/11..For any who poo poo this..I ask you to do some surfing on the Northwoods Operation..same kind of thing, only in the 1960's..Let a few CIA Hispanic/Cuban operatives invade a few curise ships on Floridas coast, kill a few Americans and we would definitely agree to invading Cuba and killing Casto..Our govt did not agree to it, however, 9/11 seems to me like an updated plan..there are many who also wonder was this an inside job..
Be patriotic. Stand behind your president, not on your prejudices and fears and right wing propagan

no flag for me
I wont hang a flag, but if I did it would be upside down, the symbol for help/distress. Or I would rather burn a flag. Sorry, for the negativity but that is how I feel about this country. My father fought in WWII and received a Purple Heart, my cousin is in the Navy right now. I just dont recognize America anymore. It is not my country. I feel like I have just landed on earth from Mars, LOL. Now, Sandra Day O'Connor is retiring, oh boy..another major fight with the right wing. Bush is on TV now saying..yada..yada..yada, he will take into consideration, yada..yada..yada..We know who he will nominate, a radical right wing nut. Sigh..
Flag pin
I love our country and respect it, but I do not wear a flag pin ever. I don't see why wearing a flag pin is so important. I was never taught to put my hand over my heart for the national anthem and most people I know do not. Men are to take their hats out, stand tall and pay attention, nothing else.
I don't understand all the attention on a pin.
put on your flag pin, your big
girl panties and pay your fair share. I don't want to work to pay taxes that go to the endless war, yet as an american citizen, I do because I must. Think of others for a change.
Oh no...not the flag pin again. LOL
Red flag s/m
The site is a blog. I notice that what I thought was a link to Obama's tax returns didn't go anywhere. The only thing visible is the "summary" of what this person SAYS is on the tax forms. Show me the REAL tax return and I'll be happy to say what I think about his charitable contributions. In the meantime, it is his business as McCain's tax return is his business.
the flag pin dealio
is a Rovian tactic aimed at the dumbest, uneducated, stick-in-the eye voters. Like those Pennsylvanians in the Oprah book of the month. Called Country Roads or something. Was rural PA residents which had murder, incest, etc. A good read.
Aren't you ashamed to include yourself in that group? Real problems need to be solved, not accessorized with flag pins.
oh drop the flag pin, will you?

Something sends up a red flag
It was on every single station except for two. Didn't watch it because it's just another form of brainwashing. Why does he need a commercial where it is blatanly obvious he did it so nobody would be able to ask him any questions. What's on the mind of everyone I know is why didn't he hold a conference and take questions?
Heard he said (or will be saying) the same ol same ol.
Just another regime tactic.
I am sure that the supervisor did not say that the flag
is offensive. How could she? She herself, I am sure, is already an US citizen, after being for 14 years in this country and being her supervisor.
It was all about the supersized flag!
A little thing on her desk would have been enoigh!
It was all about the SUPERSIZED flag
and I am sure that the supervisor did not say that the flag is offensive.
and then he proceeded to wad the flag up!

Great post!! And I will put out my flag, too.
We are so divided in this country that sometimes I think we're headed for another civil war.
But we are still all Americans, and we've got to find a way to come together.
I remember how it seemed the entire country came together after 9/11. I hope that can happen again without such a tragedy preceding it.
I hope you and your family have a blessed 4th!!! 
My flag flies every day, not just today.
Always has, always will.
You can't honor the flag and still think about those things? nm

I'm not talking about flag pins
What IS your problem? You want to vote for Oblama, fine, do it. But don't mistake your empty suit for a patriotic American.
ABC Bans Flag Pins
Well isn't that just American... Now do you know why they're called the drive-bys? Think drive-by shooting...
Yesterday, the brass at ABC News issued orders forbidding reporters to wear lapel pin American flags, or other patriotic insignia. Their reasoning was that ABC should remain neutral about "causes". |
Since when is support for preventing our death & destruction some sort of a cause? Since when is Patriotism to be discouraged. I urge you to boycott ABC and its sponsors and affiliates.

We are slowly losing everything our country stands for, and everything our men and women fought and died to preserve.
Please forward this to as many as you can. You can verify it by going to:

The thing that raises the red flag for me is ....sm
that she said she was called on her cell phone. I talked to my family and friends about that and no one that I spoke to has ever had a call from a campaign on a cell phone. Does anyone else recall? Another point is the some people are saying that the polls in the election may not be that accurate because so many people have cell phones now and no land line, and pollsters only use land lines where polling for the election. Comments?
Another thank you for your service. White flag is right..
what a nation of wimps we will become under this man. He'll be hiding behind Michelle's skirt.
Wave that confederate flag.....
I suppose the millions without jobs right now are all black/hispanic/asian? You really don't deserve a response, but, sometimes the trash needs taken out.
How can you trust him otherwise? He could be purposely disrespecting our flag (sm)
as a sign to those he truly sides with that he is on their team. The mere thought that someone could be elected to be our President while refusing to accept our flag is just insane! Do you have any idea how good we have it in America compared to other countries? Do you want to become a third world country? Do you know how possible it is?
